## METHODS. Mutations in codon 12 of K-ras were determined by a single tube, enriched polymerase chain reaction. Apoptotic cells in tumor sections were identi-1 Department of Medical Oncology, St. Vincent's fied by in situ end-labeling of fragmented DNA, whereas levels of bcl-2 and p53 Hospital, D
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the western world. About 60,000 Americans die of colorectal cancer each year. The annual incidence rate in Israel is 40 per 100,000 persons, namely a total of 2,000 new cases each year. An important step in the progression of colorectal can
As part of our ongoing studies to characterize molecular alterations in a well-defined series of surgically resected esophageal cancers, we examined the expression of 2 rasregulated genes, whose products (osteopontin and cathepsin L) previously were shown to be associated with tumor invasion and met
Lymph node status has major prognostic importance in colorectal cancer and greater precision in the diagnosis of lymph node metastases should provide better prognostic and therapeutic guidance. Keratin 20 (K20) gene expression has been used as a marker of lymph node metastases, but the evidence for
To test the hypothesis whether DNA polymerases acquire mutator properties during tumor development (mutator hypothesis), we examined DNA polymerase β¦ mRNA in 6 colon cancer cell lines (DLD-1, HCT116, SW48, HT29, SW480 and SW620) and 7 sporadic human colorectal cancers. For analysis we used amplifica
